Quiver he/him Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Double post, because this is important: baba jig is offering mantras for jobs. Mantras are words. 'Knight Radiant' is a job description. Baba jig has discovered the most important words a man can say! 1
Delightful Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 Double post, because this is important: baba jig is offering mantras for jobs. Mantras are words. 'Knight Radiant' is a job description. Baba jig has discovered the most important words a man can say! Sure it's not a Hoed mantra? *shivers* (I presume you've read enough of Elantris to have seen the Hoed?)
Left he/him Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 They've managed to impersonate Rubix!!!!!! They'res two of him now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gabriele she/her Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 And this time it's a bot from Canada offering to solve our love problems. Probably with those blue pills How boring. I find that in my spam folder every day. The love voodoo was at least something new. 1
Left he/him Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Well this is a new one. Illegal passports and drivers liscences. Yep, i sure don't need those. Not one bit. Didn't click on the links or nothing. Totally ignored it. 1
Gabriele she/her Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Maybe you need some of those if you travel the Cosmere incognito. 2
Mistdork she/her Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Oi, this thread proves one theory at least, the mods are the Heralds...oh dear me. Also, could a possible "fix" be changing the Q/A system questions and answers used inn the registration process? I've seen this used on another forum, and it helped for a little while..

SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 They seem to be getting more lazy. Only one line, sheesh, they could at least put some effort into it.
Gabriele she/her Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Anyone want some Black Magic? No? Thought so. In a place with allomancy, stormlight and whatever awesome stuff, black magic is sooo out. 1
Delightful Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 I'm wondering if the love/marriage spam is being targeted at 17s because of shipping/character discussions, especially following WoR. 2
Quiver he/him Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Another problem whose route is Shaladin. Typical. 2
Left he/him Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Now they're throwing Islam black magic into this. That's not very polite, you should leave religions out of it Babaji. Bad form. If you spam, then spam like a man!
Delightful Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 What do you write when you report a spam bot? I'm so tempted to report them as "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! PREPARE THE BANHAMMER! THE SPAM BOTS ARE COMING!"But so far I've just gone with the boring 'spam bot.' Without the space if I'm feeling adventurous. So I'm curious what you all do. 2
Left he/him Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 What do you write when you report a spam bot Who do you call? GHOSTBUSTERS!!! Anywho, I just type, and I quote," spambot" 2
Swimmingly he/him Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I occasionally copypaste the Monty Python 'spam' sketch. 5
Delightful Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 I occasionally copypaste the Monty Python 'spam' sketch.Actually, this doesn't surprise me
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Hmm... that reminds me, in the first encounters with the spam bots (or, at least, my first encounters), I commented "You, sir, are on the wrong section and forum". There was no one else on the page except for the bot, yet I received an upvote. ARE THE BOTS TRYING TO CORRUPT US WITH UPVOTES!?!?! 2
Ashiok Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I said "the spambots seem to have devolved and lost the ability to form words in the English language" or something
Curiosity he/him Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Spambots all over General Brandon Discussion! Or, just one. Thankfully, this is the first time that I've seen one on the site, and it makes me grateful for the members who spend time to report them, but makes me VERY grateful for the staff who get rid of them tirelessly. Keep up the good work! 3
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 At least they have restarted putting some effort into it. It shows that they really do care.
Swimmingly he/him Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) And, Lo, did the spambots plague the forum, like locusts, like rats, and they did offer unto the people of Sanderson black magic, and they did offer that strange thing unknowable, love; and they did spread dark and terrible like the flowing tide across the places held dear here. Hours they burnt and devoured, and hours did the people of Sanderson suffer, for they could banish not the fiends, and for all their wishing and futile efforts, no red arrow did hinder the flood, and though they called to the heavens, no sign passed and they grew weary and dispondent and said, "Oh Moderation, have you forsaken us?" And then, as there was no hope left, the people of Sanderson drowning upon the cursed wave, did a light shine down from the clouds, like stars distilled upon water, and a Moderator descended, and Lo, the sight was glorious. With flailing banhammer and coffee'd mug did the Moderator scorch the beasts, and they did retreat into the ether like a fog in bright sun, and the Moderator said in a voice like morning and the memory of sleep, "Seriously, when are we gonna update the filters?"

SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Back to one line. For a while there I thought they cared about us, but just like what they are advertising, it's a lie.
Gabriele she/her Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 You have to give those bots one thing: they have offered us a fun thread and some good laughs. That Black Magic is backfiring thanks to the power of the Cosmere.
